Shots were fired outside Punjabi singer Prem Dhillon’s residence in Amritsar, with the Jaipal Bhullar gang claiming responsibility for the attack. In a viral post, the gang accused the singer of betraying the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead in 2022.
The gang’s post, which surfaced online after the attack, alleged that Dhillon had initially supported Moosewala but later turned against him by aligning with jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria.
It claimed that Dhillon played a role in pressuring Moosewala to withdraw from a music collaboration contract with him with the help of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuri. The post claimed that Dhillon later made a song to gain sympathy after Moosewala’s death. The post also warned Dhillon that his association with Bhagwanpuria would not be tolerated, and the attack was intended as a final warning.
“If you don’t change now, no one will be able to save you no matter where you run,” the message read.
Prem Dhillon, known for his hit songs like ‘Boot Cut’, ‘Old Skool’, and ‘Majha Block’, has not yet publicly responded to the attack or the allegations made against him.
This incident is the latest in a string of violent threats and attacks targeting Punjabi artistes. In September last year, shots were fired outside singer AP Dhillon’s house on Victoria Island in Vancouver, Canada. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility for that attack, with its member Rohit Godara claiming involvement.
